Low Bandwidth Alert

[uinthas]

I am monitoring a router check_xi_service_mrtgtraf and monitoring the bandwidth. I have been unable to generate an alert if the bandwidth hits 0. I want this so I know if the provider goes down, the port status of course will not give me this. Is there a way to generate an alert if there is no bandwidth via this check or is there a better solution for this?

Hi @uinthas, thanks for reaching out.

Check out the Threshold and Ranges section of the Nagios Plugins Guidelines.

Here are a couple of examples that might get you what you want.

Code: Select all

check_stuff -w~:0 -c10	Critical if "stuff" is above 10; Warn if "stuff" is above zero (will be critical if "stuff" is less than 0)
check_stuff -c@10:20	OK if stuff is less than 10 or higher than 20, otherwise critical
